CASCADE Workshop/Retreat on Big Data Challenges, Techniques, and Applications

We invite you to join us for the CASCADE Workshop/Retreat on Big Data Challenges, Techniques, and Applications.

When: Friday, April 26th 2019

Where: 699 S. Mill Ave. #510 (Brickyard Building),  Tempe, AZ 85281

The day will include invited sessions by academic and industrial partners, presentation sessions of ongoing federally funded work, poster sessions by students and post-docs, and break-out planning sessions for helping developing small, medium, or large scale and strategic proposals. The event  will be a great opportunity to network with colleagues in ASU's and NMSU's Big Data, Data Science, and Data Engineering communities.
